2025 has been a year of change. Finding steadiness and predictability has been rare. However, it was also a good reason to reconsider what our inner world is doing. Most healers, counselors, and spiritual guides will remind us that our inner, deep self is constant. When things are tumultuous, it will guide you.
Focusing on my inner growth and my spiritual growth has been one of the main motivators for me this year. It has been about coming into alignment with my soul and its purpose. SeeChangemakers was always one of these. I guess I was intuitively working on this idea before I realized it.
One’s Soul Purpose
Interestingly, I have found a real rhythm this year for this publication and its format. Readers and viewers will still see further changes. But, right now, I feel like one of those newbies who has finally found their groove. Remember when you stopped worrying about coasting on your bike? Or when you no longer second-guess your mirror shoulder check before changing lanes? Feeling that stride is so rewarding.
Another rhythmic focal point for this publication has been its concentration on the Arts. For 2025, our first interview began with Tentacle Tribe, a bilingual dance company out of Montreal. By the way, a focus on bilingual pieces will follow this theme into the New Year. Meanwhile, other artists have discussed their healing modalities. These include David Bindi Hudson and the healing properties of the Digeridoo. Then, there was Danielle Diamond and her Costume Therapy. Finally, in November, the writing and art therapy of Kimberly Hetherington was invaluable. Therefore, it seems appropriate to conclude the year by exploring this topic.
Beginnings
On January 1st, 2025, SeeChangemakers wrote about “Future Influencers” with a feature on “Let Them Theory” guru, Mel Robbins. She was the perfect person to ground us into the following year. What better way to jump into 2025, the year of change?!
She was this publication’s forbearer to the category of Healing Influencers. To stay aligned with self-growth and Influencers, this post will center around healers who are of non-celebrity status. Aligning itself to this year’s rhythm, “where we began, we will end.” Here are my top 6 picks for Influencers that asked us to look deep into ourselves.
